Matthew and Leland did an awesome job on our foundation repair and the lift on our porch! They were very thorough and knowledgeable in answering all of our questions throughout the lengthy process. We're very pleased with their work. I was expecting a huge mess in our yard after completion but we were pleasantly surprised and how “cleaned up” everything was. Thank you Matthew and Leland for a job well-done! Thanks also to Barry for always getting back to me in such a timely manner with my plethora of questions before the job began!

I was having trouble with a door sticking and cracking around internal doorways. Dustin from foundation recovery systems was recommended to me by the people remodeling my home. Dustin came out and took readings and explained the plan to remediate the sinking causing the issues. Will and his crew showed up a couple of weeks later. They worked fast and clean and did internal and external piers in the space of two days. Now im confident to continue my remodel as they guaranteed their work. Thanks Dustin and Will

How We Encapsulate Your Crawl Space

Securing a safe and dry crawl space is a detailed process. Each step in these solutions and installations is key to transforming your crawl space into an area that’s dry, clean, and contributes to your home’s energy efficiency. 

Control Ground Water Seepage

What We Do

The ground around and under your house is full of water. Rain and snow saturate the soil, seep into your crawl space, and evaporates, filling the crawl space with moisture and humidity. It’s the perfect environment for mold and wood rot to eat away at the structure of your home. The first thing we do to stop this from happening is to add drainage in your crawl space to cycle out the water trying to get in.

What We Use

Change the Environment

What We Do

The next step we take to protect your crawl space from moisture is to seal it with an industrial grade vapor barrier. This will change the environment in your crawl space and keep it controlled. It will keep all the moisture trying to destroy your home from getting in through open crawl space vents, gaps in the foundation wall, and any other opening. All of these need to be encapsulated. With encapsulation from Foundation Recovery Systems, a healthier, more stable home is finally possible.

What We Use

Properly Insulate the Home

What We Do

Imagine you left your front door open all winter long. That’s what it’s like without a properly insulated crawl space. With your crawl space and subfloor exposed to the elements, your floor will get cold, and then you’ll see your energy bills climb as your heating overworks itself. That’s why Foundation Recovery Systems installs insulation blocks that resists moisture and mold, keep your home warm, and your energy bills low.
